Rating: - Absolutely Fantastic!
Well written and very informative. I use this book over and over and over. Highly recommended.
Rating: - beyond the usual seed catalog business
as an organic farmer of 8 years i strongly recommend this reading to all professionals whose selection is bound to a few seed sources. the book will infuse new knowledge in plant varieties and allow to improve your farming altogether. 2 examples are the mention of a vining watermelon which will allow treillising for better yield and the use of malabar spinach as superior in taste and ease of cultivation to all true spinaches..
Rating: - Very informational and enjoyable reading
This book will inspire the successful return of heirloom cultivars to many home gardens. A very good resource book for garden club or school science projects.
Rating: - Outstanding book helps gardeners choose heirloom varieties
Heirloom Vegetable Gardening by W.W.Weaver provides detailed descriptions of cultivation and cooking of hundreds of varieties of old and ancient food plants. His narratives are wonderful, and make very interesting reading. His tips on cultivation, though primarily focused on his region of the country, are complete and helpful. Altogether a throroughly enjoyable book, that provides insight and tremendous expertise in an area that is vitally important.
